List of contracting houses.

Ok, it would appear that I have asked a bit of an open ended question. Thanks for the replies, I appreciate the general tone, that is to say "no such thing as a free lunch". I guess being in the same role for the past 16 years has made it difficult for me to now try and sell myself. I am going have to develop a whole new set of soft skills.

Thanks @barrydidit. I have already tried some of the internet sites you suggest, but it is like throwing your details out into the dark and hoping it hits something. I want to find a company that I can deal with more directly or am I being a bit unrealistic?

You're being unrealistic and probably don't understand how the world of contracting works. Lots of very good first time guides on here, I suggest you read some.

We will help you (well, some of us) but we won't do your homework for you

Hi all, I am new to the world of contracting so I apologise in advance for any 'doh' questions I ask.

Would appreciate if anyone could provide me with some agencies, or contract houses, that deal with IT contracting, specifically Oracle.

Thanks in advance.

If anyone remembers Rory Dwyer's posts about opting out - he works for the company (CNL) that owns / runs Oracle Contractors.

Is that a good or bad thing?

Vertex, Apps IT, Absolute Applications, Provanis, Ntrinsic, Claremont, Computer People, Ajilon, Square One, Sopra Steria, Parity, Badenoch and Clark, Octopus, Next Ventures, Whitehall Resources, Spring, Proactive, Progressive, Church International, Modis, Discoverer, TEK Systems, Tech Mahindra, RTC, ITHR, Amoria Bond, Skillsearch, RDF, Project People....

There are loads of them - some much worse than others (there's at least ten there that I would avoid if possible) - you need to look who has the jobs and work from there.

thanks - much appreciated
